h4. Programming Competition

Sadiq asked if the framework was out - Laurence says it is being done now.

We have been promised money from Accenture, but have not yet received it.

The competition has been plugged in lectures.

There is one small bug in the framework, ...

h4. Exec Attendance at Gaming

After a brief discussion/clarification about who is a "trusted member" for the purposes of knowing the gaming password and being left to run the session, it is decided that exec, ex-exec and Euan (zx64) are "trusted".

It is noted that when gaming is finished, any trusted members must make sure every machine is checked to be in working order. The password to the account will also be changed to make sure only the trusted members now know the password.

h4. LAN

With some reflection on last week's LAN, the following points are mentioned:

If you turn up early (before 8pm), put your PC to one side and help setup.

* If you aren't coming to help setup, do not arrive until 8pm.
* Techteam will have a pre-LAN meeting to discuss network/power layout to alleviate problems (caused by early arrivals) at...

h4. Lan Firewall & World of Warcraft

Sadiq outlines that the exec has three options when it comes to potentially restricting World of Warcraft.

# Unrestricted access, with attempts at luring players to other games.
# Compromise, WoW at certain times of the day, but not at others.
# Ban WoW altogether.

After much discussion both on the exec list and in-meeting, it is decided Option 1 is the best course of action. World of Warcraft will be open for the entire LAN, but a "...
